Learning outcomes

Student describes goal, problem statement, context and formal requirements for a project in a controlled industrial environment
Student translates the specifications of the analysis into functional descriptions in a systematic way
Student selects and motivates the best functional description for a complex product
Student demonstrates the feasibility of the design by means of a working proof of concept
Student justifies choices and reflects critically on these choices during the development of the project
Student reflects on own actions, thoughts, outcomes and adjusts own actions accordingly
Student informs the client on the progress of the project on a weekly basis
Student advises the contractor on how to best implement the outcome of the project
Student evaluates the degree in which the proof of concept meets the goal and solves the problem statement

Task 1: Together with all groups agree on a protocol that can be used in task 5. (LOs: 2, 3 and 5)
Task 2: Build and demonstrate a robot that can navigate through an unknown maze and is able to navigate to a specific position.
Task 3: Build and demonstrate a system that finds and indicates the location of a sound source using two microphones. Integrate this system with your robot. The robot should orient itself to the direction of the sound source.
Task 4: Find signals in a noisy time series using digital filters. Keep a journal in which you register how you analysed your time series. You need to present a subset in class.
Task 5: Each group should build a robot that can communicate with the robots of the other groups and is capable of locating a sound and navigation. Use the protocol designed in Task 1. During the demonstration all groups are paired in a random order. Each robot will start on a different location, find the other robot and together navigate to an end position. All robots should write their movements to a database. Write a report in which you explain and defend all your choices.
